Ina’s Chocolate Cake – Coffee is the Key Ingredient!
Ina's Chocolate Cake recipe -- with Coffee!
Ok, so this has to be my absolutely favorite chocolate cake recipe, ever! It is so moist, so rich, and so delicious, I have never had anything quite like it before. I honestly cannot rave enough about this recipe. In fact, I am so confident of it I have made batches of cupcakes for coworkers, friends, and relatives to share and delight. I always receive rave reviews and it always comes out perfectly.
The important key to this recipe, is the use of — coffee! Yes, that is right, coffee. Now, mind you it tastes like chocolate cake, not coffee cake. However, that coffee really adds a wonderful note of mocha delight to the cake that you almost can’t quite put your finger on what it reminds you of.
Also, if you make this cake, you absolutely must make the accompanying buttercream frosting! It really sets the whole thing off and sends chocolate-lovers into chocolate orbit. And of course, this is perfect for serving with a delicious cup of coffee! How perfect is that?
